Chapter 31: The Forest of Thorns

Chen Zhou remembered the name and was ready to introduce him to the master after meeting him.

After eating morning and evening, the two set off for Tianmen Mountain.

Tianmen Mountain is the periphery of the Sword Cloud Sect, and all the passages in and out of the Sword Cloud Sect are in Tianmen Mountain, which means that you can only enter or leave the Sword Cloud Sect from Tianmen Mountain.

The small hill where Chen Zhou lives is not far from Tianmen Mountain, but it is not too close, because Peng Xiaodeng has not yet entered the Qi refining period, and there is no difference between him and ordinary people, so Chen Zhou can only walk with him.

If you use True Qi to hurry, the speed will definitely be much faster than it is now.

"Senior brother, I heard that there are many realms of cultivating immortals, which realm are you in?" Peng Xiaodeng was out of breath after walking for a distance, while Chen Zhou was still old and had nothing to do.

"I'm just in the foundation building period. Chen Zhou replied.

"Senior brother is already in the foundation building period at such a young age, and our Sword Cloud Sect will definitely be even more powerful in the future!" Peng Xiaodeng said with a wave of his fist.

"Little junior brother, after all, personal strength is only personal strength, and the strength of the sect depends on all of us. Chen Zhou replied to Peng Xiaodeng.

"Senior brother, you're right! I will definitely work hard and strive to become a figure like my senior brother!" Peng Xiaodeng clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said.

Chen Zhou nodded, admiring the little junior brother in front of him very much, he has always believed that talent does not mean everything, and with such ambitions, his future achievements will definitely not be low.

This is the experience that Chen Zhou summed up after reading so many novels in modern times, but many of the protagonists in it have opportunities, such as themselves.

Now that I have a salted fish system, I will have the ability to do this now, what if I don't have a salted fish system?

Chen Zhou thinks that maybe he is still farming in the mountains.

Therefore, if Peng Xiaodeng wants to get ahead, it is a good choice for him to introduce to the three elders, and if he can grasp this opportunity, his achievements will definitely not be low in the future.

Speechless on the road, the two walked to the foot of Tianmen Mountain, looking at the endless plank road up the mountain, Chen Zhou looked at Peng Xiaodeng, who was already panting.

"Little junior brother, go back and rest first, you don't have to climb this plank road with me. Chen Zhou said.

Peng Xiaodeng nodded, he really didn't have the physical strength to climb the plank road of Tianmen Mountain anymore, and he also wanted to accompany his senior brother to go up to see his senior brother out of the sect, but he had more than enough heart and not enough strength.

Tianmen Mountain is the gateway of the Sword Cloud Sect, so it is one of the highest mountains in the Sword Cloud Sect, in order to facilitate outsiders to enter the Sword Cloud Sect, the Sword Cloud Sect specially built the front and back sides of the Tianmen Mountain to build the upper and lower mountain plank roads.

The plank road has been repaired to the top of Tianmen Mountain, and there is a huge mountain gate on it, which is engraved with the three big characters of "Sword Cloud Sect".

After Peng Xiaodeng left, Chen Zhou walked on the plank road alone, with the blessing of true qi, Chen Zhou did not take long to climb Tianmen Mountain.

On the mountain gate, the seven elders were already waiting here, but the sect master had not yet come.

The three elders held some daily necessities and clothes in their hands and handed them to Chen Zhou.

After Chen Zhou took it, he put it into the ring.

"The sect master will arrive later, Chen Zhou, this is the first time you have gone to perform the task of a deacon in the outer gate, you have no experience, this is a piece of imperial guard, refined by our seven elders, if your life is in danger, you can use it to resist a fatal blow, or directly use your true qi to pinch and explode it, we will come as quickly as possible." ”

As he spoke, the Great Elder took out an imperial guard from his storage bag and handed it to Chen Zhou.

This imperial guard is different from the previous Jiang Ying gave Chen Zhou, it is white, and there is a long sword on both sides, and Chen Zhou can feel the true qi contained in it.

If this imperial guard really exploded, it would definitely not be something that Chen Zhou could withstand now, and the true qi contained in it was terrifying.

"You can write a letter about anything, and the thing I just gave you has a map in it, and you can see where there is a post station, and the post station can send a letter. ”

The third elder looked at Chen Zhou and said, the map is naturally a must.

"This map is the map of the Tianyun Continent, very large, very detailed, it will be difficult to find such a thing if you lose it, so everything else can be lost, remember to keep the map well. ”

The Third Elder thought for a moment and continued.

Chen Zhou nodded, the outside world was not as small as the Sword Cloud Sect, and he quietly wrote it down in his heart, the map must be well preserved.

After waiting for a while, the sect master quietly appeared on Tianmen Mountain, in front of Chen Zhou and the seven elders, with his hands behind his back, dressed in a white robe, and there was a sense of otherworldliness around him.

"See the Sect Master. ”

Chen Zhou and the Seven Elders bent down together and arched their hands.

This time, Chen Zhou understood some etiquette, and he was no longer standing there as dullly as last time.

"Get up. The Sect Master spoke, but his gaze drifted into the distance.

Looking out from Tianmen Mountain, the first thing is a wide forest, which is the only way to go to the Sword Cloud Sect, the Forest of Thorns.

"This is the destination of your trip, don't open it too soon, and open it again when you leave the north gate of the southern country. ”

The sect master handed Chen Zhou a folded white paper and said.

Chen Zhou nodded, he didn't know what the sect master's idea was, there should be the sect master's own reasons.

"Sect Master, then I'll leave immediately. Chen Zhou looked into the distance and said slowly.

"Whether the Sword Cloud Sect can rise again, whether you can succeed in this mission accounts for a large part of the factors, this is not only an opportunity to train yourself, but also an opportunity for the sect. ”

"Remember, don't mention the Sword Cloud Sect outside of the Southern Kingdom, let alone let people know that you are a disciple of the Sword Cloud Sect. ”

Chen Zhou silently wrote it down, after all, he was alone outside, and he had to walk such a long distance, rashly proclaiming that he was a member of the Sword Cloud Sect, maybe he would lead some of the sect's grievances to himself, which was indeed quite dangerous.

"From the Sword Cloud Sect to the southern country, there are three thousand miles away, we have prepared a horse for you, there are many risks on the road, and the true qi must be saved, so let's try to ride a horse forward. ”

The sect master continued, almost everything was arranged for Chen Zhou, even the food for the horses was put into Chen Zhou's ring for the three elders, as well as the daily dry food that Chen Zhou needed.

"Sect Master, I know, I will definitely complete this mission. Master, don't worry too much, wait for my good news in the sect. ”

After speaking, Chen Zhou walked on the plank road down the mountain, the scenery along the way was very beautiful, without too much farewell and nostalgia, Chen Zhou left the Sword Cloud Sect where he had lived for more than ten years.

"Elders, don't worry too much, Chen Zhou's mission on this trip was carried out secretly, and no one except me knew about it. On the surface, I have already sent a Deadpool to go for this mission, and most of the people in the rivers and lakes should be eyeing this Deadpool by now. ”

The sect master looked at the elders and said.

The opportunity for the Sword Cloud Sect to rise began immediately.

The Sect Master and the seven elders had been standing in place watching Chen Zhou leave, and Chen Zhou's back was getting smaller and smaller until he disappeared on the plank road.

In order to reduce the burden on the horse, Chen Zhou only brought a few coins with him, and an ordinary long sword, the heavy blade sword was placed in the ring, and there was an elder left for him to carry with him, and the others were gone.

In this way, the burden on the horse is small and it can walk longer.

This is a white horse that grew up in the Sword Cloud Sect, the Sword Cloud Sect has a special horse trainer, all of them are miscellaneous disciples of the Sword Cloud Sect, because they have no talent to cultivate, and they want to mix up a position in the Sword Cloud Sect.

Although these miscellaneous disciples did not have the talent to cultivate, they were very talented in some side sects.

For example, the white horse under Chen Zhou's seat is well-trained and can travel thousands of miles a day, but the requirement is to give it enough food.

The three elders naturally prepared enough food for Chen Zhou's horse, and had already made up the idea of letting the white horse travel thousands of miles a day, and the Sword Cloud Sect was three thousand miles away from the southern country, that is, it only took three days for Chen Zhou to reach the southern country.

During these three days, Chen Zhou could only camp in the wild.

Chen Zhou has now entered the foundation building period, and he no longer needs to sleep, basically he can sit and practice without sleeping all night, but is Chen Zhou that kind of person?

The appearance of the salted fish system is to let him grow up healthy and strong, so that he can rest well every night, and he can get the reward of cultivation.

Leaving Tianmen Mountain, it was close to noon, and the sun was in the hot time.

Chen Zhou was sitting on a rock under a huge willow tree at this time, unfolding a huge map.

This map depicts various places in the Tianyun Continent, and Chen Zhou is looking at the road from the Tianyun Mountain of the Sword Cloud Sect to the south above.

There is only one road to the south of Tianmen Mountain, and there is no other road, during which you will pass through the forest of thorns.

Chen Zhou is currently in the place where he is about to enter the Forest of Thorns.

There is not much information about the Forest of Thorns on the map, there is only one name, and Chen Zhou does not expect that there is a lot of information about the Forest of Thorns on it, after all, this is a large map, depicting the entire Tianyun Continent.

After a short period of repair, Chen Zhou mounted a white horse and continued on his way.

At this time, there was no one on the road, the scorching sun was shining on the ground, and the surrounding area was covered with dense trees.

Chen Zhou did not use the whip to speed up the white horse's running, but let it walk slowly, and after walking for a while, he finally saw the thorny forest in the distance.

There is an obvious difference between this forest and the forest where Chen Zhou is now, that is, the trees are taller, and the trees are covered with all kinds of thorns.

From the outside, the Forest of Thorns resembles a castle full of thorns, and even the sun rarely shines into it, and the gap between the trees is very small, and it is covered with thorns.

However, the Sword Cloud Sect opened a passage with the southern country, and the Forest of Thorns was also opened a great avenue, but this avenue has not been repaired for some time, and there are various thorns crisscrossing the main road, reconnecting the trees on both sides that were originally isolated by the main road.

In the sect, Chen Zhou heard various stories about the Forest of Thorns.

There are spirit animals in the Forest of Thorns.

People can absorb the true qi on the continent to cultivate, and beasts can also, and the beasts that can absorb the true qi to cultivate are called spirit beasts.

Spirit beasts are the same, they also have a strict cultivation level.

The spirit beasts that can absorb the true qi are divided into nine levels, and the spirit beasts that have cultivated to the ninth level will have the same opportunity to condense the golden pill as a human, and the spirit beast at this time is called the transformation realm, and the spirit beast that condenses the golden pill has the ability to transform into a human being, and it can't be seen from the appearance at all, it can only be seen from the true qi.

The true qi of human beings is transformed by the main exercises, and the true qi absorbed by the spirit beast will be assimilated by the spirit beast into the true qi that is in line with itself.

To put it simply, the true qi of the spirit beast is very pure, not as fancy as the true qi cultivated by the main exercises, for example, Chen Zhou's true qi can come with various formations.

It is rumored that there are first-level and second-level spirit beasts in the Forest of Thorns, and there are many loose cultivators in the southern country who hunt them for a living, and hunting spirit beasts can obtain immortal cores and their flesh and fur.

Everything is the best price.

In particular, the Immortal Core has a similar function to Tsukidan, except that it is used to refine pills, and it is an essential material for many pills, such as Tsukidan.

Chen Zhou slowly sailed into the forest of thorns.

What Chen Zhou didn't know was that as soon as he entered, he was discovered by a pair of red eyes hiding among the thorns, and then a fishy signal was transmitted to the entire Forest of Thorns.

Immediately, all the people of the same kind who could distinguish this signal began to rush to it, and the one who reported the signal was a spirit beast that already had wisdom.

It smelled the thick breath of Tsukidan on Chen Zhou's body.

Tsukidan also has a strong attraction to their spirit beasts.
